To the Editor:

On behalf of the Oak Ridge High School Cross Country Team and Booster Club, we would like to publicly recognize those who helped with this year’s ORHS Cross Country team banquet.

Thank you to J&M Butcher Shop for its generous donation of gift certificates for our coaches and to SAIC’s Jeff Hussey who printed and folded our banquet programs for the last three years. Thank you to our Banquet Co-Chairs Karen Fitchpatrick and Beth Eckerman, without whom this banquet simply wouldn’t have happened. Thank you to Carol Self, Lori Gupton, Angie Kraeske and Carol Peters who spent time picking up food, registering guests at the front door, working on senior gifts, and decorating the ORHS cafeteria to make it extra special for all our runners.

A special thank-you also goes to the ORHS Cross Country parents who so generously provided dessert and other financial support. We are lucky to be part of a community that so strongly supports our student athletes.
